True. If the diameter of the afferent arterioles leading to the glomerulus increases due to vasodilation, which ultimately increases the net filtration pressure.

The filtration of blood occurs in the kidney, an excretory organ. The kidney is composed of numerous small units called nephrons, which is responsible for the blood filtration.

Glomerulus is part of nephron and the glomerular filtration occurs in the renal corpuscle of the kidney. This process is driven by hydrostatic and colloid osmotic pressure.

These pressures are collectively called net filtration pressure, which is influenced by the diameter of afferent arterioles.

If the arterioles constricts, net filtration pressure will decrease and if arterioles dilates, net filtration pressure will increase. This mechanism is regulated by neural, renal and hormonal regulation.

Contact with infected cats and their feces is the only mode of transmission of Toxoplasma to humans. Contact with infected cats
Mkey [24]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Toxoplasma is a congenital disease that is characterized by mild muscle aches, tender lymph nodes, etc. and in some immuno-compromised individuals, seizures and coordination loss may occur. I

The disease is caused by a protozoan known as <em>Toxoplasma gondii </em>and its infection is usually by eating foods (usually meats) that contain the cyst of the organism or making contact with cats that are infected in addition to infected mother-baby transmission, especially during pregnancy.

<em>Hence, humans can contract the organism not just by exposure to an infected cat but also by eating meats that contain the cysts of the organism.</em>
